HDL cholesterol levels

near SCARB1 · rs35950463

What the study found

Who was studied 288,127 East Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0547 higher (95% confidence interval 0.047-0.062); p = 1 × 10−46.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 22% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12q24.31 — between genes, 1.9 kb from SCARB1.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to HDL cholesterol levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to HDL cholesterol levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to HDL cholesterol levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs35950463

What is rs35950463?

rs35950463 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near SCARB1 gene. Published research associates it with hdl cholesterol levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs35950463 mean I will get this?

No. Common variants like this one move a probability slightly and, on their own, rarely decide anything about one person. Nothing on this page is a diagnosis, and health decisions should be made with a clinician who can see your whole picture.

Where does the information about rs35950463 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2022, PMID:36333282. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
